Dedication to Myself and Certain Others

See how over there in my scant blog author profile I did at least manage to add in the Carpe Diem thing despite my being too lazy for much of anything else? That's because it is my own particular catchphrase, pretty much sums it all up for me. Seize the day.

Even though I often sometimes might need to be reminded myself, and that is why the incentive for and the meaning behind every single tattoo I currently have permanently inked onto my person ... always a constant affirmation in fact for me being here in the first place.

The smell-the-roses-count-your-blessings-live-like-you-were-dying-the-past-is-past-today-is-the-first-day-of-the-rest-of-your-life-or-you-could-be-dead-tomorrow sort of hint to me personally kind of reminding. And for certain others, too, you know who you are.

That was then, this is now, tomorrow may never come, blah blah blah, but like this song says best to simply live, laugh, love just for today. God, I'm getting sappy. I'll be bitchy again tomorrow to make up for all this, I promise. I do have a reputation to uphold after all.

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell - Just Do It

Like most other gay folks, I was gratified the other night to hear President Obama announce at the State of the Union address his intention to put repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell on the agenda for 2010. Of course we were all hyped when we heard it the first time, too. Back when he was pandering the rainbow coalition for votes during his campaign, pledging to be a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights. To start working toward getting rid of DADT during his first year as president was part of that promise. Not that he has totally snubbed us, I guess, but tagging him a "fierce advocate" is probably a stretch . It's really little wonder that much of the queer community reacted approvingly, but also with a fair amount of skepticism, the other night after hearing him vow again to do what he vowed once before with nothing gotten done so far. This DADT thing, I wouldn't think, should be such a big ordeal to get over and done with in short order. Even military p...

Hung on the Cross

So what, I'm not very mature for my age. I don't care, I'm easily amused because of it, and I enjoy being amused. Like this picture of a crucifix which was hoisted a couple of months ago above the main altar at the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic church in Oklahoma: I can come up with lots of hilariously inappropriate captions here, some that even I am embarrassed to admit thinking up, despite my unabashed crudity. I would share but probably everyone else is too sophisticated to see the humor. Plus, I really don't want to go to Hell. I'm guessing that there are an awful lot of Okie parishioners down there at the church where this is hung for real, who I reckon wouldn't appreciate my sense of humor about it, either. They are, in general, hugely offended by it instead, because they see nothing funny whatsoever about displaying Jesus' ginormous penis in church, not in the least bit! Seems as though this has caused quite a "deep divide" among members o...
